Well yes, seeking after the Jewish vote is straining at gnats. They don’t add up to much.
Which is not to say that our party needs to be the “Evangelical Party” in order to attract the votes of Evangelicals.
Conservative ideology should be enough to attract voters from ANY demographic - if they have conservative sentiments to be appealed to.
We don’t need to water down our Conservatism to attract the votes of, for example, Hispanics. Hispanics with first hand experience under Communism overwhelmingly vote for Republicans.
Well put.
Neither should a Christian need to hide his or her faith in order to appease those who are anti-Christian. The relevant article point is "He goes on to say that Jews 'cringe' at the thought of a believer in Jesus Christ becoming President". The point is that there are Jews who object to a serious Christian being allowed to hold high political office, purely because of his religious beliefs.
For example, Joe Lieberman is very much Jewish. He also was the VP choice for the Dems in 2000. What would be your reaction to a statement like "Evangelicals 'cringe' at the thought of a disbeliever of Jesus Christ becoming President". Would you say that those who hold that attitude have a point which should be considered? Or would you say that they were a bunch of bigots whose views should never be appeased?
